Working in an office linked to cheating, affairs, and global warming

I get a lot of garbage in my email, and usually I just delete it. But this one, I don’t know… this one just stood out.

Subject: Does your spouse work in an office?

Beware, because “the office is an affair incubator,” according to Tina B. MANHATER, a psychotherapist, and the data backs her up. The office has become the most common place for an affair to blossom, say experts. A recent HOOHA Interactive® survey found that 41 percent of employed Americans ages 25 to 40 admitted to having engaged in an office romance. Why is this happening? “People spend a lot of time at work, and it is easy to confuse common interests with work interests,” said Leslie Beth HOOBIEWOOBIE, a psychologist and social worker. And an overwhelming majority of those surveyed (76 percent) believe that office affairs are on the rise. Click here to read the entire HUBBADAWUBBADA article.

Color me naive, but isn’t this “press release” simply an ill-disguised means for fanning the flames of hysteria… creating hostility and suspicion in what otherwise would be normal marriages? Is the goal of clearly shoddy”research” to ensure that the statistics for divorce and unhappiness continue to RISE?

I am horrified and outraged… emotions that I rarely take on. How and why did this woman choose me to receive this divorce propaganda? Ok so sure sometimes I torment my dear husband. But even the most casual reader should clearly see that deep down I adore him.

Then I start to wonder… what is the point of this email? Who or what is being promoted? So I click the link at the bottom, and am summarily dumped into the PR section of a Divorce “community” website. Which, from a cursory look, can only be said to be PROMOTING divorce.

Here’s the best (or worst) part. Splashed across the top of the website is a huge banner ad for eHarmony, encouraging me to “discover all the compatible singles who match you!”

Why bother trying to work it out when there’s BOATLOADS of people just waiting to treat me right?
